A GRUESOME killer previously wounded his fiancee in front of a packed pub, it has emerged.

Sleazy stripper Steve Parton was today facing life behind bars after admitting to murdering Nelvaughn Brade, cutting off his head and using a kitchen blender to liquidise the body.

A former pal said Parton, 39, always seemed destined to kill.

The former metalworker switched careers to become a striptease act after meeting Mandy Robinson in 1998. He later split with her but her friend Julie O'Neil, aged 40, told how he spoke about attacking a former fiancee. "Steve had been engaged to a barmaid before he met Mandy.

"Everyone knew the girl was seeing three of four of Steve's friends. He was devastated.

"A few days later he went in to the pub she worked in with a seveninch knife. He asked her to come out from behind the bar and stabbed her in the stomach.
